METALLIC IBEDSTEAD.

Application filed December massive appearance of the more artisticwooden beds. To this end double walled panel constructions of sheetmetal properly finished have been employed for the foot and headboards.

The object of this invention is to provide a. metallic bed of thecharacter described, having foot and headboards provided with improveddouble wall panels, the construc tion of which shall be comparativelycheap to manufacture, easy to assemble, and practical to a high degree,said bed having its parts combined to form a comparatively lightanddurable structure of the desired wood imitating appearance, and havein addition, other advantages which will in part be owious and in partmore fully described herein.

Other objects of this invention will in part be obvious and in parthereinafter set forth.

The inv ntion accordingly consists in the features of construction,combinations of elements and arrangementof parts which will beexemplified in the construction hereinafter described, and of which thescope of application will be indicated in the following claims.

in the accompanying drawing, in whichis shown one of the variouspossible illustrative eI-nhodiments of this invention,

stretcher member 125" interconnecting said A center panel 1 1 is mountedon the stretcher member 13 between the middle .stanchions l1 and a wingpanel .15 preferably of arcuate cross-section is supported on saidmember 13 between each of the middie and end stanchions 11 and 12.

The stretcher member 13 ispreferably made of a single bow-shaped tubewhich extends through the middle stanchions 11 and is anchored theretoand to each of the end st-anchions 12 in any suitable manner, as bywelding, to form a substantially braced structure.

The center panel 14 may be comprised of a single sheet of substantiallyflat metal havingthe bottom and side edge portions thereof inserted intoslots 13 and 11 provided in the member 13 and stanchions l1respectively, and having the upper edge portion finished in any suitablemanner to give a pleasing appearance. Thus for example, the panel 1% maybe provided with a curved transversely extending tubular stretchermember 16, to form a neat upper border for saidpanel and also serving asa cross brace for the upper ends of the stanchions 11.

Each of the wing panels 15 is of hollow construction made of sheet metalhaving a front wall 17 and a rear wall 18 spaced parallellytherefrom toform light and durable structure, and so as to give the panela massiveappearance. Said walls 17 and 18 maybe arcuately bent transverse theheight of each panel 15 to conform with the bow shape of end portions ofmember The outer wall 17 is made slightly largerthan the rear wall 18 toprovide straight side and bottom edge extensions 17 and 1? respectively,and its upper edge is bent rearwardly to form a rounded edge face 17 forsaid panel 15 (see Figs. 2 and The rear wall 18 is made with bent sideflanges 18 for evenly spacing said walls 17 and 18 from each other andhas a forwardly bent, rounded edge 18" adapted to fit behind the edgeface 17 so as to form an overlapped scam, the extreme edge of the face17 being welded on the rearv side of thepanel 15 as s at 17 to form acontinuous smooth upper surface for said panel 15. Said upper edge ofeach panel 15 is preferably fashioned to give it a pleasing shape, suchas shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 3.
